Re: Ariston as 100

The search is great when you know what to look for Greg. After checking out the thermostats I was looking to buy a new timer, and came across the name Copreci, which I then tried in the search, and if iandms hadn’t mistakenly thought his timer was a Copreci…
Anyway the wife’s dead chuffed:
so I don’t have to turn the knob any more?
No
and it heats it enough to dry the dishes?
Yep.
O
?

So to sum up, the washer would stall at two points and need advancing by hand, and the wash would be poor because the water wasn’t being heated.
the element was ok, the thrmostats were ok. the problem was the Copreci mechanical timer was sticking or having a poor contact on the heater circuit. this was cured by spraying and rotating as above. The machine runs the full cycle now because the water is heated.

Re: Ariston as 100

The timer was at fault.
The thermostats should read main one closed, othr two open.
The copreci mechanical timer is no longer repaired by qer.I would say make a note of your connections, take off the timer, spray the switching area with wd40 and rotate the knob loads of times. Spray again, rotate again loades, leave to drain overnight and clean up. Re-fit.

Greg, this was a solution back in nov 2005 by iandms, and you said then that you had known a timer cause lack of heating…I guess you must have forgotten.

Re: Indesit DG6100W Programmer not advancing

Thanks a bunch iandms. Followed your method on the timer revival and bingo, £45 saved. I didn’t fiddle with any wiring, so its not a case of disturbing it. It is a copreci, wich qer won’t repair any more.

Thanks again.

Re: Ariston as100 help

Denviks.
I only know this because my as 100 has a fault that I have yet to cure. It does sound like the flood protection as activated. This is just a polystyrene float in a depression on the very bottom of the machine- the metal tray just above the floor. When water collects in this depression, it lifts the float, which clicks a micro switch.
To get the float to drop, you need to empty out this water, by leaning the machine to one side, the water will be on the floor and the switch will re-set.
If it doesn’t the float may have jammed- mine was covered with brown gunk. Cleaning this should sort it.

Don’t forget though that the water has leaked from somewhere in the machine. An unusual circumstance may have caused it to collect there this time, and the problem may not occur. If it does, you need to find the leak.

You must disconnect from power, but you don’t need to disconnect the hose or outlet – these contain water that hasn’t leaked – it’s still in the system. You are emptying water that has leaked into the inside of the dishwasher.

If it makes it easier, you can disconnect them.

Hope this is some use.
They’re brilliant when they’re working

Thanks Greg for your help so far

Re: Ariston as 100

I’ve had a close look all over underneath, and if there’s a reset button, it’s really really well hidden, my mate from bomb disposal couldn’t spot one either.

Any alternatives?

Re: Ariston as 100

Element bench tested to be ok, stats in good contact with new thermal grease, but still no power to the element. Can’t find any reset item, stumped…

Re: Ariston as 100

You guys start early.

Thanks Greg that all makes sense, I’ll find a way to put some pressure on that unit, I see now that the sensors are all spring-loaded, theoretically to keep them in contact…

The thermal device.. what would that look like Greg? Roughly

Thanks in advance

Re: Ariston as 100

Thanks kwatt, that’s great.

If anyone else is wondering it is the wrap-around spiral assembly at the rear right.

All seems to check out, but the machine continues to wash cold.
I did notice that the row of three….cylinders, with thermal grease on them were not in close contact with the bottom of the washing area. Two read open, one reads closed.

Could this have anything to do with it?

If not , what do I check next?

Thanks in advance

Jim
